Average Daily

Famous quotes containing the words average and/or daily:

    But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus. By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible rights. It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts; requires neither thanks nor complaint.... Foolish soul! What act of legislature was there that thou shouldst be happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    At first your mother said . . . why me! why me!
    But she got over that. Now she enjoys
    her dull daily care and her hectic bravery.
    You do not love anyone. She is not growing a boy;
    she is enlarging a stone to wear around her neck.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
